Description Richard W.M. Jones 2012-10-25 11:29:25 UTC
Description of problem:

When I run system-config-date in recently updated 32 bit Rawhide
VM, it does nothing except hang.

There is a 'pkexec' process taking up approx 70% of the CPU time,
but apart from that nothing happens.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

system-config-date-1.10.1-1.fc19.noarch

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo system-config-date

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-10-25 11:30:06 UTC
BTW even:

# system-config-date  --help

just hangs (again, pkexec process running using CPU).

Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2012-10-25 15:21:57 UTC
Sorry, that was me being stupid -- pkexec should run the actual python script, not the pkexec wrapper. Should be fixed in 1.10.2 which is building right now.

Comment 4 Sergei LITVINENKO 2012-10-25 18:59:00 UTC
system-config-date-1.10.1-1.fc18.noarch is buggy because calls itself

[sergeil@f18a ~]$ cat /usr/bin/system-config-date
#!/bin/sh

exec /usr/bin/pkexec /usr/bin/system-config-date

> system-config-date-1.10.1-1.fc18.noarch is buggy because calls itself

Yes, see my comment #2 -- I failed to update the package version in the bodhi update when adding this bug at first, that's why comment #3 mentions the old (buggy) version. Try version 1.10.2.
